The aim of this study is to assess whether a structured medication review in primary care improves medication adherence and leads to positive patient outcomes in patients with PD. The expectation is that the results of this study might be used to…
Our aim is to investigate whether patients who are informed by video will have less preoperative anxiety than the patients who receive usual information.
The primary objective of the research is to compare the physical disabilities of Parkinson*s patients using the Medido compared to patients taking their medication in the usual way. The secondary objectives are to compare for Medido versus regular…
This project will investigate what the needs of patients with late stage parkinsonism, their families and of their carers are, what services and support they receive, and the extent to which their needs are met in different health-care systems. This…
Primary objective is to investigate whether a VF-based balance training program leads to improved balance control in PD patients and how posturographic outcomes are associated with changes in clinical outcome measures.Secondary objective is to…
The present PhD thesis focuses on the investigation of ADAS and the older driver. Even though, recent research investigated the effects of ADAS on driving performance, little is known about the long-term effects of the systems on performance.…
This project is motivated by neuroscientific theory regarding the role of the mesolimbic dopamine system in selective attention. It aims to elucidate how the dopamine system affects attention and to determine the role abnormal functioning of this…
The primary goal of this study is to understand the sentence comprehension difficulties in Dutch speaking PD patients. Secondly, we developed the two experiments to test the hypothesis that the BG are involved and play a particular role in syntactic…

Test whether a mindfulness-based cognitive therapy intervention (MBCT) improves psychological distress, clinical symptoms, slows neurodegeneration, and/or enhances neuroplasticity in PD.
In this pilot study, we aim to assess practical feasibility, technical feasibility and safety of a computational approach for programming newly implanted STN-DBS patients with PD. This computational approach will be based on patient-specific sweet…
